Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gearshift gaiter
Operation: How to mount the plastic ring of the gearshift gaiter on the Fiat 500

In this video tutorial we will see how to mount the plastic ring on the Fiat 500 on the gearshift gaiter, following these simple and quick steps. First of all, let's disassemble our gearshift gaiter, together with the old ring; so let's separate the two elements, as shown in the video. At this point we can install the new ring, inserting it correctly on the holes of the gearshift gaiter, in order to lock it on the boot; we just have to reassemble the headset and possibly the gear knob on the lever, fitting them correctly without creating any play.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
